Learn From A Tree! Poem by V.Muthu Manickam
Learn From A Tree!
When you pluck a flower, the tree remains silent
When you remove a leaf, it reposes to relent
When you climb over, it shields
When you sever a branch, it yields
When you harvest the fruits, it doesn’t demur
When you cut a portion, it doesn’t murmur
When you replant, it don’t quit
When you cut the whole tree, it is quiet
For the tree treats you, as its’ master!
So your needs, happily it does cater! !
By silence, it symbolizes surrender
It silently shows a noble order
The tree, to its’ master, contently admit
Like the tree, to your Master, learn to solemnly submit!

There is, of course, a great lesson to be learnt here. But, on the other side, we have a duty to protect our trees and our forests, our flora and fauna, our enviroment and fragile eco-system. Thanks a lot, Sir.
Welcome Mr.Manga! The joy and the pleasure is mine. I look forward to serve the reading community, more, in the times to dawn. Thank you
Nice writing on trees and its nature, but every one need grow Trees, to protect from pollution and environment. Thanks for sharing
Thank you for appreciating the spirit to support and learn from trees! When many hands join like yours, the world shall see a change. More, on such theme is in the pipeline.
I love the quiet personality of your poem, it so tenderly depicts all the things that could happen to a tree, yet it remains silent through it all and submits to everyone who does something to it. We humans cannot submit like the tree for we have free will, intellect and imagination. We adapt according to how we were brought up in life. Wonderful poem, Muthu! Thank you for sharing. RoseAnn
Thank you Ann. It is Nature. True but rare to appreciate such hard fact.
